One of the products I have been most neurotic about using for years on my face is a good sunscreen. For the last 20 yrs I have not left the house without it on - ever. Our harsh sun is one of the reasons our skin ages if we don't protect it.Not all sunscreens for the face are created equal though. I find alot of them just too greasy or heavy and leave the skin looking oily. Or they clog the pores and I get break outs. Afew of my favourites are the ones above......The Clinique Super City Block was the one I first started using years ago and wore for many years. It is not greasy at all and has a slight tint in it so sometimes that was enough to put on my skin without makeup (I was alot younger then!) And I found it really did protect my skin all day.The second one that I swapped out the Clinique for , only because I wanted to have a sunscreen in my moisturiser, is the Dermaquest Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF15. Even if I use a different moisturiser I put this on as well - I figure these days my skin can never be over hydrated! It is so light and the skin absorbs it beautifully.The Jurlique one is also light and I use this one in my kit for work. It seems to sit nicely on normal to dry skin. Another one that is not expensive but a really nice product too is the Olay sunblock. Out of alot of the brands that I have tried these ones stand out.I believe if we're going to look after our skin with lots of expensive products to hydrate and plump and smooth the skin , then we need to protect if from the sun so we don't undo all the good work that these products are doing ...... have a great week!
